What can we say about the Stormers?

What I hate is when supporters and media do not give the winning team credit. I am currently in Cape Town for business and on every radio station, and every stormer supporter you speak to they say " the sharks were lucky, because the stormers did not pitch"

I say this is utter BS! The Stormers did pitch but were outclassed by the best team in SA and in every aspect of the game and also by the mastermind brain called Plumtree

All over Cape Town today you will find sour supporters and sore losers which actually told me they will support the Chiefs next week, and you know what just because of that he Stormers will be the CHOKERS of world rugby from now on until they win a trophy.

I guess the lack of scoring was their downfall after all?

Let me guess we will allready be hearing " Watch us next year"??? Yeah right bla bla bla same old story every year.

Kick the Stormers out of Super rugby and bring in the Kings!

There are probably some Stormers fans who feel that.....most I suspect admire the Sharks. That said I don't believe the Stormers had an aggressive playoff attitude. Did they ever attack the Sharks lineout? Did they try and break the line until the last quarter?

They played a very conservative game plan, and were shocked twice by tries which normally their defence wouldn't yield.

The Sharks, in my view are the most balanced SA franchise, and are the best template for the Boks. But they aren't without weaknesses. Based on how easily Jean beat Whitehead yesterday, and Freddie's usual tackling.....10 and 12 channels will be under attack, back in NZ. But if the Sharks front and back rows can conjour up one more mighty effort, we may all be singing their praises. Most Stormers fans as well....I trust.

How good could the Sharks backline have been had they had Frans on board?

Their backline could have looked something like: 15. Lambie 14. Jordaan 13. JP 12. Frans 11. Mvovo 10. Freddie 9. McLeod - with Whitehead and Ludik on the bench.

Steph du Toit ahead of Alberts at lock would have been a bonus as well.

Agree with Moz, the Sharks have the best balanced side
